Chapter 961: Emperor Xia’s Fury

The doors of the palace were not closed. The officials standing there lowered their heads when they heard the screams coming from outside.

After the 20 big boards were done.

Bi Fangjie couldn’t take it anymore and fainted. He lost half of his life and would probably be bedridden in the future.

After entering the Purple Extreme Hall, Zhang Ronghua reported.

“The Soul Palace, the Sky-burn Palace, the Crimson Heaven Palace, and the True Dragon Palace should join forces to capture the masked man!” Emperor Xia ordered.

Everyone was shocked again!

There were too many surprises today. The four major powers had actually joined forces. It seemed that their naivety had collapsed.

Jiu Xuanji and the other three accepted the order.

“Other than those from the Bureau of Military Personnel and the military, everyone else can leave!” the Xia Emperor ordered.

The officials bowed and left, each one faster than the other, not daring to dawdle like before.

“I’ll leave this matter to you to investigate,” the Xia Emperor ordered.”Will there be any results before nightfall?”

“I’ll do my best.” Zhang Ronghua didn’t say too much.

“Go!”

After Zhang Ronghua left.

The Xia Emperor rose from his throne and looked coldly at the kneeling crowd.” As long as Zhang Ronghua hasn’t solved the case, you will continue to kneel.”

After saying that, he flicked his sleeves and left.

In the crowd.

Zuo Feng remained the same as he knelt in the military formation. He was terrified. How could this be? Didn’t the Tiansha Ferocious Wolf escape? How did he get caught?

How many clues did Zhang Ronghua have? Would he be able to find the Zuo family?

Time passed like a year. Every minute and every second was extremely torturous. There was no way to send a message.

..

At this moment.

The palace was sealed, and the Vermilion Bird Gate was closed. Without the Emperor’s decree, no one was allowed to leave the palace. Even if the officials knew that the Ferocious Sky Wolf had been captured, they could not send the news.

He left the Purple Extreme Hall.

With Emperor Xia’s orders, Zhang Ronghua mobilized a group of Human Emperor Guards and charged towards the Bureau of Military Personnel. Once they arrived, they formed a metal circle. Without his orders, no one was allowed to take a step away. Those who violated the order would be arrested immediately.

Such a huge commotion immediately alerted the people from the Ministry of War.

The news from the Imperial Court had yet to reach them, and the people from the Bureau of Military Personnel had yet to return. The remaining people had low official positions and did not know what had happened. Facing such a huge array, how could they dare to resist?

He led his men to the treasury. All the secrets of the Bureau of Military Personnel were stored there, including the records of battles of all sizes and the extermination of local armies.

The Golden Scaled Mysterious Heavenly Army was in charge of defense. A lieutenant led a battalion of soldiers and surrounded the place. Other than them, there were also array formations protecting them and experts hidden in the dark.

” Master!” Seeing Zhang Ronghua bring the Human Emperor Guards over, Lieutenant Li Yicheng hurried forward and cupped his fists.” Greetings, Master!”

“Take them all down!”

The Human Emperor Guards charged forward ferociously and took them all down.

Li Yicheng and the Golden Scaled Mysterious Heavenly Army did not dare to resist. The Human Emperor Guards represented His Majesty. Moreover, even if they attacked, they would not be a match for him. The difference in their cultivation levels was too great.

“Sir, what is this?”

“Who was on duty yesterday?” Zhang Ronghua asked coldly.

“Left Meng, Left Lieutenant,” said Li Yicheng.

“Who went in and out of the warehouse?”

“There are two copies of the list of people entering and leaving the warehouse. One is with me, and the other is for Lord Xu to keep.”

One of the Human Sovereign Guards took out the name list and handed it to Zhang Ronghua respectfully.

He took the name list and flipped it open.

Yesterday, only one person had entered the warehouse. His name was Pang Yihai, the right assistant minister of the Ministry of War. He was responsible for inspecting the warehouse.

To prevent important secrets from being leaked or being carried in and out of the warehouse, no matter who it was, the lieutenant on duty would accompany them to ensure the safety of the things inside.

The map of the Great Xia army was discussed by the Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets, the Minister of War, and Marshal Tiance before being submitted to Emperor Xia for decision. After it was decided, it would be handed over to the Ministry of War for safekeeping.

The Ministry of War was outside the palace. If they wanted to enter the palace, even if they had a way to break through the super array of the palace, avoid the Golden Scaled Mysterious Heavenly Army, and sneak in, they would not be able to fool the experts guarding the palace in secret.

The seven of them stood at the peak of power. Their identities were clean and their roots were upright. Even if a knife was placed on their necks or their families were threatened, they would not betray their country.

Taking a step back, assuming that they betrayed their country and passed on the Great Xia army’s defense map, they would not steal the original. Secretly memorizing it and silently spreading it out, the danger would also be minimized.

After some speculation, his target was either Pang Yihai or Zuo Meng.

Looking at the storeroom, the mystery was about to be revealed.

“Open the storeroom!” Zhang Ronghua ordered.

The Human Emperor Guard took the array disc and key from Li Yicheng’s chest and opened the door.

Zhang Ronghua brought Sima in, and there were four Human Emperor Guards. The rest of the people stood guard outside. When they arrived at the place where the Great Xia army’s defense map was stored, there was a golden jade box on the shelf. It was long and carved with exquisite patterns.

“Open it.”

Sima went forward to take the jade box and opened the lock. There was nothing inside.

Zhang Ronghua was not disappointed. He smiled in his heart. Just as he had guessed, the culprit had prepared the exact same jade box in advance. When they entered the warehouse, they would take the opportunity to swap the box.

“Let’s go!”

He took the lead and left, followed by Sima and the others.

He continued to seal off the Ministry of War and rushed towards the Purple Extreme Hall. When he arrived, he brought Pang Yihai and entered a side hall.

“Tell me in detail what happened yesterday.”

Pang Yihai reacted very quickly. There was only one reason why the Emperor was so angry. The Great Xia army’s defensive map had been stolen, and he was very upright. He did not dare to put on airs as the Right Assistant Minister of the Ministry of War, afraid that he would accidentally become a scapegoat and kill his entire family. He honestly recounted what had happened.
